Fold-down vehicle seat

Abstract

A fold-down vehicle seat is provided having a seat part and a foldable backrest. The seat part is mounted so it is pivotable on the vehicle floor via a front rocker and the backrest is mounted so it is pivotable on a seat framework section using a lower end section. In such a vehicle seat, the seat part and the backrest are transferable into a first and a second folded position to enlarge a cargo area of the vehicle adjoining the vehicle seat, the seat part being coupled using a rear rocker to the backrest, and the seat framework section supporting the backrest situated so it is displaceable on the vehicle floor in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In this way, a fold-down driver seat is provided, which has a high degree of user friendliness and is universally adaptable to various cargo space configurations.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a foldable car seat. Background technique

[0002] Foldable cars can create additional loading space, for example for luggage, in which the backrests of the car seats can be folded forward to form so-called "seat stacks". For example, in the case of height-adjustable vehicle seats, a seat package of this type can be formed by first lowering the seat to the lowest possible level. Then, the backrest is turned forward until the backrest is in a position substantially parallel to the vehicle floor, wherein its front side lies flat on the seat cushion. In many embodiments known from the prior art, the lowering of the seat part and the tilting of the backrest take place independently of one another, which affects the handling comfort.

[0003] Furthermore, a lowerable car seat is known from DE 198 12 268 C1 with a backrest that can be folded around the pivot axis of the fixed seat, wherein the seat part is supported on the front an...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0040] exist figure 1 The car seat shown in has a backrest 12 and a seat part 10 , wherein the backrest 12 is articulated on the seat frame part 16 about a pivot axis 26 . The front section of the seat part 10 is fastened via the rocker 24 to the vehicle floor, in particular at an articulation point 36 on the underside. The substantially straight rocker arm 24 is pivotally supported with its lower section on the joint 36 , while the upper section of the rocker arm is pivotably articulated on the underside of the seat part 10 .

[0041] exist figure 1 In the basic position shown in , the seat part 10 extends rearwardly, towards the backrest 12, slightly inclined. In this case, the rear section of the seat part 10 facing the backrest 2 is mechanically connected to the backrest 12 via a swing arm 18 . The rear rocker 18 is curved and brings about a corresponding connection between the backrest 12 and the seat part 10 , depending on whether the vehicle seat is to be shifted int...
